The Spirit of the Matador

Artist
Hamed Morovati
Description
The Spirit of the Matador reflects on cruelty disguised as tradition. A bull pierced by spears bears the anguished faces of matadors within its body, their expressions frozen in silent torment. The sculpture challenges the glorification of violence, suggesting that suffering does not end with the victim. Instead, it echoes back upon the aggressors, revealing how violence leaves lasting marks on all involved.
